Kinshofer GmbH products

The efficient KINSHOFER pallet fork with a spring loaded or hydraulically compensating center of gravity can easily be adapted to different loads with adjustable plunge depth and adjustable tine spread. An efficient handling of many different kinds of loads like stone or brickstack, protection trellis or other general cargo is possible due to the hydraulic shifting or the easy adjustment with a stainless steel-plastic-sliding guide in the upper component respectively.

The reliability of the revolutionary HPXdrive in combination with robust, versatile shells. Thanks to the drive system, the movement and closing force of the shells is constant and synchronized, generated by two hollow shafts, which run opposed and have a helix thread, hydraulically driven by a single piston. The HPXdrive is available as standard or heavy duty version.

The KINSHOFER clamshell buckets with horizontal cylinders are available for daily routine works, as heavy duty version and also as reinforced heavy duty version. A small volume version is also part of the product range. They all feature a maximum loading height, a long life due to the use of 500 HB steel in the manufacture of cutting edges and a generously dimensioned bearing system, a synchronized opening and closing due to a sturdy compensation bar and excellent digging characteristics as a result of high closing forces.

The KINSHOFER high volume clamshell buckets with horizontal cylinder are the ideal tools for handling loose material such as sand, gravel or soil – also perfectly matched to heavy duty work. The wide separation between the axes provide a wide opening and the buckets does practically not leave any `left overs`. The widely positioned shell pivots ensure a good digging behaviour and high closing pressure. Cutting edges made of 500 HB steel and a generously dimensioned bearing system contribute to the longevity of the grapples. The high volume clamshell buckets are available with wide (KM 602) and narrow (KM 622) shell carrier.
